Safety Instructions

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use.

• Always ensure the garage is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Keep the garage away from open flames, excessive heat sources, and highly flammable materials.
• Regularly inspect the structure for any signs of damage, loose parts, or wear. Address any issues promptly.
• Ensure proper ventilation around and within the garage to prevent moisture buildup, which can affect both the wood and your robotic lawnmower.
• During assembly, keep small parts out of reach of children and pets.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g., gloves) during assembly to avoid splinters or minor injuries.

Operating Instructions

The tectake Robotic Lawnmower Garage is designed for passive operation, providing a protective environment for your robotic lawnmower.

• Parking: Guide or program your robotic lawnmower to park inside the garage when it is not in use, during charging cycles, or during periods of inclement weather.
• Access: Ensure the robotic lawnmower has clear and unobstructed access to enter and exit the garage. Remove any obstacles that might impede its movement.
• Protection: The garage provides shelter from various weather conditions, including rain, hail, and UV radiation, which helps to protect your robotic lawnmower's electronics and exterior, potentially extending its operational lifespan.
• Plant Tray Use: The roof features a plantable tray. You can fill this with soil and plant flowers, herbs, or other decorative plants to enhance its appearance and integrate it further into your garden landscape. Ensure proper drainage for plants.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued effectiveness of your robotic lawnmower garage.

• Wood Inspection: Periodically inspect the wooden slats for any signs of wear, rot, cracks, or damage. Apply appropriate wood treatment, stain, or paint as needed to maintain its weather resistance and appearance.
• Sealing Film Check: Regularly check the sealing film on the roof for any tears, punctures, or degradation. Repair or replace damaged film to ensure continued waterproofing of the plant tray and the garage interior.
• Cleaning: Clean the garage periodically to remove dirt, debris, leaves, and plant matter from the roof, interior, and surrounding areas. A soft brush and mild soap solution can be used for cleaning the wood.
• Plant Tray Drainage: If using the plantable roof, ensure that the drainage system is clear and functional to prevent water accumulation that could potentially affect the wood structure or lead to stagnant water.
• Fastener Check: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose connections.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your robotic lawnmower garage.

• Water accumulation inside the garage:
  Possible Cause: Damaged sealing film on the roof or improper drainage from the plant tray.
  Solution: Inspect the sealing film for tears or punctures and repair/replace as necessary. Ensure the plant tray's drainage holes are clear and that the garage is level to allow water to run off properly.
• Structural instability or wobbling:
  Possible Cause: Loose fasteners or uneven ground.
  Solution: Verify all screws and connections are tight. Ensure the garage is placed on a firm, level surface. Adjust the ground underneath if necessary.
• Wood discoloration or signs of rot:
  Possible Cause: Prolonged exposure to moisture without adequate protection.
  Solution: Apply an appropriate wood preservative, stain, or outdoor paint. Ensure regular maintenance as described in the Maintenance section.
• Difficulty for robotic lawnmower to enter/exit:
  Possible Cause: Obstructions or incorrect positioning.
  Solution: Clear any debris or plants that might block the entrance. Ensure the garage is aligned correctly with the robotic lawnmower's path and charging station.
